Use this guide to replace the battery in your Samsung Galaxy S9.
Opening the Samsung Galaxy S9 will damage the waterproof seals on the device. If you do not replace the adhesive seals, your phone will function normally, but will lose its water protection.
Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. If your battery is swollen, do not heat your phone. Swollen batteries can be very dangerous, so wear eye protection and exercise due caution, or take it to a professional if you're not sure how to proceed.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.
-
-
Before you begin, switch off your phone.
-
Apply a heated iOpener to a long edge of the phone to loosen the adhesive beneath the rear glass. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes.
-
-
-
Press a suction cup onto the back cover.
-
Lift the back cover's bottom edge with your suction cup, opening a slight gap between the back cover and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick in the gap you created and slide it to the bottom right corner.
-
Insert a second opening pick and slide it to the bottom left corner.
-
Insert a third opening pick to prevent the adhesive from resealing during the rest of the removal procedure.
-
-
-
-
Remove the eight 4 mm Phillips #00 screws.
I think the #000 fits better!
The second and fourth screws on the bottom row are a little shorter at 2mm ( I measure the others as 3mm). Worth some care to put the screws back in the same holes as they came from. (SM-G960U)

Hi Will,
thank you for mentioning! On our model the “SM-G960XU” all screws have the same length (4 mm). However this might differ between different models and is definitely something to keep an eye on during repairs.

-
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery flex cable.
-
-
-
Use an iOpener to loosen the adhesive beneath the battery. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes.
-
In the following step, only apply the spudger in the areas marked in green, which is where the battery adhesive is located.
-
Avoid this area. There's a gap in the mid-frame right below the battery, and you can accidentally damage the display through it.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
If possible, turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.
For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100%, and keep charging it for at least two more hours. Then, use it until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Merci ifixit.
Mais je n ais pas compris la deconnection du NFC, es une nappe. Je ne comprends pas.
Bonjour @Di Da, vous trouverez la partie qui parle de la démontage du coque / de la cache en plastique qui abrite l'antenne NFC et la bobine de recharge dans les étapes 9 à 11. Au fait, la cache en plastique et la nappe sont UNE pièce ensemble, on ne peut pas les séparer et dès que vous démontez la cache, la nappe va elle aussi sortir automatiquement. Elle n’est lié que par quelques contacts, vous n’avez pas besoin de déconnecter ceux-ci, ils se séparent automatiquement quand vous retirez la coque.
Wenn nach Abschluss der Reparatur der Fingerabdrucksensor nicht funktioniert muss man in den Restore Modus des Handy gehen.
Dazu das Smartphone an den Lader hängen und das Gerät ausschalten.
Dannach die Bixby + Power + Lauter Taste gedrückt halten bis das Samsung Logo erscheint.
In dem Menü den Punkt “Wipe Cache Partition” auswählen mit Lauter / Leiser und mit Power die Auswahl bestätigen.
Die Auswahl nochmal mit Yes bestätigen und warten bis das Gerät die Cache Partition gelöscht hat und das Gerät neu starten.
Dannach sollte der Fingerabdrucksensor wie gewohnt funktionieren.
Why does the guide stop? How am I supposed to use the adhesive??
Hi Mitchell,
the last step offers a guide to install an adhesive. Hope that helps. Otherwise, all our guides are “re-assemble in reverse order”.
For what parts? There’s multiple sets of adhesive on this device, and I would personally recommend applying the adhesive the same way that it was applied on the original battery.
I’ve bought a replacement battery for my S9 to do this but it hasn’t come with any adhesive. Which one(s) do I need any where can I buy it?
Hi danreilly,
in case you don’t want to buy custom cut adhesive for this, you can use regular double sided adhesive tape.
Nightmare. Impossible to get the back off so far. Being trying using the iOpener with hair dryer for last 1hr. No chance.

You’re right Chris. I’ve tried on 3 separate occasions now and haven’t been able to budge that back. All that has happened is the pick has taken a piece out of the glass back leaving a rough edge now.

it was not easy but doable.

It’s difficult, but the trick I did to get it was to wrap the hot iOpener around a bottom corner, apply the suction cup, then I covered the opener and phone with a paper plate, better insulating the area. Then I set my blow dryer to high heat and low velocity and heated the area under the plate for about a minute. Right after turning off the blower, I took off the plate and pulled the suction cup with a cutter at hand. You’ll hear a bit of a cracking/popping noise when the adhesive is starting to give, just apply a little more force and push the cutter at the seam. This method worked great for me, so good luck and just keep at it — you’ve got this!

I used nearly boiling water in a storage zip bag on the phone for 10 minutes. I can’t really recommend this method, but thankfully the bag did not leak - an iOpener is probably a much better way to go. Regardless, the bag covered the entire back of the phone, and the phone was too hot to hold, but I still could not get the glass to budge with the suction cup after struggling with it for about an hour and multiple reheats. I ended up epoxying a 2”x2” square of PVC board to the bottom of the cover and built a relatively complex fixture that pulled on the PVC with the turn of a screw while it held down the frame by the edges. After heating the edges up again It did lift the glass enough to get a pick underneath it, but it cracked the glass and it was a pain to slide a pick around the edge while the glass was cracking all the way around. Once I finally got all the glass off, I spent the next 30 minutes (which is what this entire process is supposed to take… what a joke!) cleaning the adhesive off the phone.

Well, it is not obvious how to do this. I have no iOpener, but a heat cushion for remedy hurting muscles and sometimes a backpain. It is filled with grain of some kind and it is to be heated in a microwave oven for about 3 minutes. After that I enveloped this cushion round the phone and brewed myself a cup of tea. After ten miutes the phone was warm (almost hot) and I was able to press the tip of a small (very small) knife above the charging port into the connection between the phone body and the backplate. A very small opening emerged slowly (this is the critical point in this process) and I was able to start using the iFixit opening picks. It became obvious to me that the opening picks are too blunt to achive this with them. But after starting carefully with the (very small and very sharp) knife, everything went straight forward. Thou I had to give the phone a second heatpush with my heat cushion before the backplate came loose.
